Roadways In New York State, seat belt compliance has risen to a record 91% in 2013. Still, in 2012 204 unrestrained front seat occupants died in crashes on New York highways. In addition, in 2011, over 8,000 New York State motorists, and over 400 backseat occupants under 15 years of age were treated in hospitals for injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents where they did not wear seat belts. The goal of the Buckle Up campaign is to reduce the number of crash related deaths and injuries and make New York a safer place to live and drive.

- - - Shopping Online?

Its that time of year again, and people are shopping for gifts online more than ever. Unfortunately, crooks like to take advantage of this hectic time by crafting all sorts of online scams.

Keep personal information & passwords private. Do not respond to requests to "verify" your credit card information. It could be a trick.

Beware of "Bargains" from unfamiliar companies or shop with companies you know.

Use secure websites for purchases. Look for the padlock icon at the bottom of your screen, or the "HTTPS" within the URL address.

Do not respond to online solicitations for charities. If you are interested in giving to a charity, first do a through checkup with their online process.

Consider alternate options to pay for the merchandise, such as disposable credit cards or money orders. Perhaps there is a local storefront nearby you can visit instead.
